ELLIE-IS-ME

I thought this quotation perfectly explained the best way I’ve changed this year, learning to see my blank pages as opportunity instead of an anxiety. Day 8 of the December challenge by @journaling-junkie

COMMISSIONS

We had a rough year and I’m trying to earn some bucks to help my family out, so I’m opening commissions!

You can specify a size of your choice (granted it won’t be bigger than 3000x3000).I won’t draw: Any form of gore or porn, nor any type of hate/discrimination. I don’t draw gunman type mechas, but I CAN draw characters with an armor, like Pharah from overwatch for example.I will need: Image references of the character you want me to draw. You can also include a description of it, or tell me if you have a pose in mind. In short, describe what you want, or tell me if you give me total freedom on your commission!Payments only through paypal - I will invoice you the payment before giving you the final piece. I can send you some preparatory sketches if you want, and can make retouches on the work.CONTACT ME THROUGH ELLIE-ANT.TUMBLR.COM OR MLLEHELIANTHE@GMAIL.COM.

Elsa normally meets up after Satch’s shift at the library so
they can hang the heck out

He lowkey hooks her up with a bomb-ass bass system for all
of her anime watching needs and it’s the loudest in the girls dorm and Satch is
like ‘oops, I can fix that’ but elsa is like ‘ N O L E T M E K EE P I T’

Shes also the first one that volunteers to try out stuff
like his vr machine. Shes always super interested in what he’s going to make
next even though she might have no fucking clue how he made those things, even
when he explains them.

Sometimes he starts explaining something quickly and Elsa
just raises her hand like shes in class and shes like “ ‘scuse me teach, please
run that by me again”

Elsa is definitely the ‘love’ to Satch’s ‘logic’

“Okay, but [pretty good reason why she shouldn’t have this
thing]” “OKAY SATCH BUT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING- I love it, so-“

Elsa usually pushes Satch to do more impulsive things and he
lowkey appreciates it (even if it does blow up in their face- sometimes its
just good to have the experience).

Any time Satch says ‘copacetic’ Elsa starts singing Copacabana
knowing that it ‘annoys’ satch (but she makes sure it doesn’t actually annoy
him every once in a while)

When Elsa gets down in a mood sometimes there’s nothing that
can pick her up immediately so when Satch finds out, he just invites her over
to his dorm (or goes over to her if she cant find it in herself to come over),
and just plays some music for her (he has a v wide musical library) or puts on
some anime or a movie she likes and he wont say anything but he’ll just chill
until shes ready to talk or shes feeling better.

(Eyesagao bonus- He definitely notices the way Traci and
Ellie treat her and steps in to find out whats going on??? Because not only Is
it real unlikely that they would treat her that way, and over a boy, but Elsa
is super-covering up her suffering, and he reaches out to her first as a
friend, then ends up falling for her, and he hates it because its in the middle
of all of this boy trouble, so romantically he keeps his distance, but he’s
constantly there for her. His main problem is trying apply logic to where there
is none. Do you know how hard it is
to explain negative demonic influences and possession and the void to someone
who is super-grounded in reality???)

Satchie

Fuckin sketch buddies if nothing else, they get together and
it’ll be super quiet and they just sketch.

Satch starts renting out the school drawing tablets out for
him and Ellie because they both have one but the school’s are better.

Sneak-kisses in the library between the bookshelves where
they cant be seen :eyes:

In fact, they first meet in the library!! Ellie takes down a
book and comes eye to eye with satch, an isle over. This startles her and she
drops the big-ass book and it makes like, the loudest sound ever, and shes
super embarrassed, but when the librarian comes out to dish out some
punishment, Satch apologies and says he accidently pushed the book from the
other side.

Satch inquires whether Ellie is trying to better her
Japanese because she checks out a lot of translation books (In spite knowing
Japanese and English already) and she admits she just wants to faithfully
translate some songs.

Satch is like ‘oh!! Maybe I can help’

AND ELLIE IS EVEN MORE EMBARESSED BECAUSE HOW CAN SHE
EXPLAIN HER WEEB ANY MORE THAN SHE ALREADY HAS.

She very low-key lets him help her with the lyrical
arrangement of some things for a little while, and one day he pauses,
recognizing the lyrics from the popular songaloid??

And shes embarrassed even more at first and then shes like “wait…
you know what that is??”

So they start talking about it a little and finds out the
other knows… a lot about it??? But Satch never really considered English covers,
so they start working together like, forreal.

And the first time Ellie hears Satch sing shes like… fucking
awestruck. Like… What- What the hell- What in the- How can— wow.

And then Satch hears Ellie sing!! And hes like woah. Amazing.
Th e b e st. wow. And he immediately
lets her know. And shes like ‘woah—no—but you??’ and theyre both fucking dorks
who gush over each other??

That’s their whole god damn relationship really, just
complimenting each other and getting embarrassed at the praise b y e

(Eyesagao bonus: this probably hurts the mo st because Satch
probably, in seeing Jack and Ellie get together, never acted on his intrest in
her, but remained a good friend- a good sketch buddy!! But then definitely
falls in an awkward spot when he sees Ian and Ellie’s friendship crumble over
Ellie’s new behavior, and Ellie then turns to him in support. He doesn’t want
to hurt her, but this definitely isn’t normal, and this definitely isn’t healthy.
And while its hard to watch your crush NONSTOP go on about her boyfriend and
how he’s probably with your friend whos also been acting weird as hell. What
the heck is Satch supposed to d o?????????????????)

Tratch

Um let it be known that Traci was just fucking thankful that
she wasn’t the only black student there that was her very first thought seeing
Satch because she was just super nervous the whole time while making the move
to the school.

But also she didn’t want Satch to think she just wanted to
be friends with him just because he was black it was very complicated

So they started attending together, they became friends
second year when Satch and Traci started seeing each other in the library
(Traci read A LOT of YA novels. A LOT. She fucking loves reading)

And Satch recommended her some books because why the heck
not, but then he learned of her little quirk of not actually reading anything
given to her (which is a weird quirk to have, but she had it)

So he doesn’t recommend her any books, but lowkey leaves
them for her to find, and eventually she ends up reading them.

They love finding songs for each other to listen to, and
listening to music while playing games (Satch is better at single player games,
Traci is better at fighting and racing games)

And while Satch is like “This UI is horrible” Traci is like “You
already told me but tell me again, what’s the UI???”

Satch likes to go deep on why he might or might not like games
and Traci is like –shrugs- idk I liked a lot of it. Water level kinda sucked
but I didn’t mind it. Cool music!! Best music!!

In that respect they cant be more fucking opposite.

Also not to be overbearing but Satch keeps an eye on Traci’s
grades because its not that she isn’t smart its that she doesn’t push herself
enough to study or do homework so he has to stay on top of her so she can get
it done.

He also doesn’t let her exclude herself from group
activities. The second they decide to group up (whether its in class or during
a meeting, he’ll immediately check to see to see if she just goes quiet and
doesn’t make an attempt to add or be included, and he’ll make sure that doesn’t
happen)

But Traci will ALSO check after him because god damn it he
will go three days without sleep if he gets too deep on his current project or
study. She’ll phone him up and bother him to lay down at least, and they’ll
talk or play music over the phone until he falls asleep. (or she falls asleep
rip)

She also talks him into quitting the library because SHEESh
that libra ri an

ALSO ALSO THEY LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES TOGETHER but Satch has
a better camera than her even though shes in yearbook club (her camera is a
hand-me-down from her mom) but they just like taking the train to whatever
location and just… taking pictures together. And he’ll smile for pictures, but
somehow always catch these artistic pictures of her.

(Eyesagao Bonus: Uh, Traci is like a blank fucking wall and
that worries him the most because he just cant get though to her, so he and
Elsa kind of continue taking care of her, getting her to eat, but generally deteriorate
‘waiting for jack’ and Satch physically confronts jack about it, but is unable
to get any answers and it bothers him but once again what the heck is he
supposed to do??? Whatsss going on????? Poor satch ri p, but eventually he gets
Jack to get Traci to start doing stuff again, at least so she doesn’t do
something crazy like starve to death as theyre slowly figuring out whats
happening)

I write line
After line for her
I don’t even know her
I have this strong urge to show her
What her words mean to me
I have risen out of dreams
To craft lines about her mind
And a pair of brown eyes
I have yet to even see
I read word after word
Then get trapped in a world
Where my sun and my moon
Both kneel at her feet
Her poetry is deep
Every verb feels urgent
Each syllable important
God wouldn’t dare critique
She is poetic perfection to me
